Whenever I have limited dinner options, I end up making some dessert. :) My go-to dessert is Caramel Custard or Flan. All the ingredients are easily available and it is easy to make.
Ingredients
3 eggs
4 Tbsp Sugar
Pinch of Salt
Vanilla essence
1 1/2 cup Milk (I used 1%, but you can use any other type)
10 Tbsp of Sugar (for Caramel)
Warm up the Milk and add salt and vanilla essence. Keep it aside to cool
In another bowl whisk together the eggs and sugar till sugar dissolves.
Prepare caramel by heating the Sugar in a pan till it slightly changes color. Be attentive as the caramel can burn quickly. Pour the caramel into the ramekins or molds. Be careful with the caramel - it is hot and it cools and hardens pretty quickly. I learnt that the hard way!!
Now mix the milk and egg mixture, whisking it. Then pour it in the prepared ramekins.
Heat the oven to 325C and place the ramekins in a water bath (a container filled with hot water in which the ramekins are placed) and cook for 30 minutes or until the custard is done. To check insert a knife and it should come out clean. Even if the custard is done, it is still jiggly. So no worries.
Cool the ramekins and then place them in the refrigerator.
Once you are ready to serve, de-mold the custard. It comes off easily.
As you can see from the picture, the flan looks great and is tasty!!
Some of the other recipes use condensed milk, but I prefer simpler, healthier recipes and this ones tastes as good as any other. So definitely try it!
